Former Subaru rally driver Chris Atkinson has been awarded another WRC outing with Citroën at round three of the season, Rally Mexico.
The Australian drove for Subaru's works team in the World Rally Championship (WRC) between 2005 and 2008, before the Japanese manufacturer pulled out of the series.
He laid low for a couple of years, before re-appearing on the map at the 2012 Rally Mexico, which he contested in a Ken Block/Monster WRT Ford Fiesta. From Finland on, he completed the season, with Citroën first, eventually with MINI.
In 2013, he has been awarded another chance of showcasing his skills, once again at Rally Mexico, this time in Khalid Al Qassimi's Citroën DS3.
The Abu Dhabi native is tied down by other commitments.
"A huge thanks to [Khalid Al Qassimi] and [Citroën Racing] for the opportunity to race at [Rally Mexico,] can't wait!" Atkinson wrote on his Twitter page.
